Solid slice of old school hip hop.

10,000 Days

5/5

Brilliant album by the best band on the planet.

Polygondwanaland

4/5

First time hearing these guys. Pretty damn cool. Will delve deeper into their discography.

Walls of Jericho

Helloween · 1 likes

2/5

In the 80s, this would have been considered scary or frightening. Today, it sounds dated, goofy and really dumb. They had no chance of reaching Metallica levels of success.

Look Sharp!

4/5

Solid choice. Dug this one. Good mix of post punk and new wave with a healthy dose of cynicism.

Slapstick

3/5

If it was more punk and less ska, I'd like it more. Not bad otherwise.

Yeti

Amon Düül II

4/5

Out there but very cool. More Kraut rock is always a good thing.

Walls of Jericho

Helloween

Bloody Kisses

Type O Negative

2/5

Didn't click with me.

Tindersticks

3/5

Not bad. Quite mellow. Singer sounds like Nick Cave. Would need to be in the right mood to listen to it.

Keep It like a Secret

Built To Spill

3/5

Okay.

Damien Rice

2/5

Meh

Afrociberdelia

Chico Science

Under The Pink

Tori Amos

3/5

Hello Rockview

Less Than Jake

3/5

If it was more punk and less ska, I’d like it more. Otherwise, it’s okay even though it’s Green Day with a horn section.

Nearer My God

Foxing

3/5

World's End Fruit Basket

Ikd-sj

2/5

Didn't care for the death metal screams.

Daisies Of The Galaxy

Eels

2/5

Just can’t get into these guys. I’ve tried but something is off.

F♯ A♯ ∞

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

4/5

Discovered them a couple of years ago. I like them quite a bit. Very moody and atmospheric. This should have been in the original list.

WE ARE

Jon Batiste

3/5

Reading Writing And Arithmetic

The Sundays

3/5

Look Sharp!

Joe Jackson

4/5

Solid choice. Dug this one. Good mix of post punk and new wave with a healthy dose of cynicism.

Exile On Coldharbour Lane

Alabama 3

3/5

Didn't know these were the guys that did the theme for The Sopranos until today. Cool.

Frengers: Not Quite Friends But Not Quite Strangers

Mew

3/5

Magnolia Electric Co.

Songs: Ohia

3/5

John Dawson Winter III

Johnny Winter

3/5

Standard blues rock affair. It's fine.

Spirit of Eden

Talk Talk

3/5

I've had this band recommended to me but I couldn't get into them. They're slowly growing on me but the singer's voice is a drawback. If they did strictly instrumentals or had a better singer, they would rank higher.

Wild Planet

The B-52's

4/5

Enjoyed this one. Has a hint of darkness without losing its sense of playfulness.

Melt My Eyez See Your Future

Denzel Curry

3/5

Blue Is The Colour

The Beautiful South

1/5

So bland and dull. The male vocalist is grating. His terrible Tom Waits impression on Liar’s Bar dooms this album to the drecks.

Ænima

TOOL

5/5

Now we're talking! My favourite band. Just superb in every way!

Tomorrow Belongs To Me

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

3/5

Decent slice of sleaze rock.

Love Is Hell

Ryan Adams

1/5

Gross!

Silent Alarm

Bloc Party

3/5

Misplaced Childhood

Marillion

3/5

Talented musicians but not entirely original. Sounds so much like early Genesis especially Fish who is very influenced by Peter Gabriel. Not a bad thing. It’s just I’ve heard it before. Good. But falls short of great.

Pinkerton

Weezer

2/5

Don't get the appeal for this band. I know they're popular and have commercial success but they don't click with me.

Control

Pedro The Lion

3/5

Decent but didn't blow me away.

Jaco Pastorius

4/5

Funky. Chill. Solid vibes all around. Even though he had serious problems mentally, there is no denying Jaco's musical aptitude.

GLOW ON

Turnstile

4/5

Solid stuff. Dug it.

The Beautiful Letdown

Switchfoot

2/5

Meh.

Animals

Pink Floyd

5/5

Cynical. Harsh. Frightening. Relevant. Utterly superb. Love this choice. Great album.

Take It From The Man

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

3/5

Decent but I’ve heard better from BJM.

People Watching

Sam Fender

Eric B. & Rakim

4/5

Solid slice of old school hip hop.

Souvlaki

Slowdive

3/5

I have heard it before and it is slowly growing on me.

Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws

Bruce Cockburn

3/5

Not his best album but still a decent listen. Known more for his thoughtful/borderline Christian lyrics, Cockburn is an underrated guitarist and his playing shines here.

10,000 Days

TOOL

5/5

Brilliant album by the best band on the planet.

Whipped Cream & Other Delights

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

4/5

Surprisingly liked it. Different from the rest that's been suggested so far. I think we need more instrumentals. Not just jazz but even bring back rock instrumentals. I'd put this on on my personal 1001 list.

Discovery

Daft Punk

4/5

Huge back in the day and it still thumps today. These guys know how to get a dance floor going.

22, A Million

Bon Iver

2/5

Not my thing.

Erratic Cinematic

Gerry Cinnamon

3/5

No Talking Just Head

The Heads

4/5

I liked it. I know the reviews for this one aren't great but I enjoyed it. Different for sure. Not saying David Byrne wasn't important to Talking Heads, of course he was vital. But this shows the other band members to be just as critical as well.
